This doesn't attempt to be a coherent history of Jordan. It is simply a collection of pages about subjects I find interesting and think other people might too. Coherent histories are easy to find in most of the guide books, and there are many long periods when nothing much at all happened in Jordan!

• The "Mesha Stele"
   
• Mosaics of the Madaba Plateau
   
• Among the first visitors to Petra : Laborde and Linant
   
• Early views of Petra : the drawings of Laborde, Linant and of David Roberts
   

• Narratives of journeys to Petra between 1812 and 1914 by Norman N. Lewis
